Analytic
Analytic is an ability in the Pokémon series that enhances the power of a Pokémon's moves when it acts last in the turn. Specifically, if a Pokémon with Analytic moves after its target within the same turn, its move's power is boosted by 30%. This power increase applies to all types of moves, whether they are physical, special, or status moves that deal damage.
Effects and Mechanics: 1. Trigger Condition: For Analytic to activate, the Pokémon must move after its target within the same turn. This can be due to a lower Speed stat, the use of a move with a lower priority, or the opponent using a move with a higher priority. 2. Power Boost: Once the condition is met, the move's power is increased by 30%. This boost can turn certain attacks into significantly more powerful options, making even normally weaker moves quite effective. 3. Strategy: Trainers often pair Analytic with Pokémon that naturally have
